Verse
G
Hello reaper, have we met?
Em G
Still so many things I haven't said
Hello darkness, you're here again
C D G
Last I saw you, I was tangled in my head
Hello sadness, are you here to stay?
Am D G
Right when things were finally going my way
G
I met this angel
G
She taught me to fly
Am D G
Yeah, she showed me all the colors of the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
C
So please don't take her away
Em
But if you do
C D
I'm just skin and bones, I know that there's room
[Chorus]
Em D
When the man in black
C G
Comes to cash his check
Em C G
And you're holding on to your final breath
Em G
When you walk out the door
Em
Know that I will too
C D G
I hope they build coffins for two
[Verse 2]
G
When I was younger, I used to pray
C D
That my life was more than the sum of my mistakes
G
And now you're here, dressed in white
C D G
I guess he heard my voice on all those lonely nights
G
Now we're older
Em
But you look brand new
Am D G
Every day I'm falling more in love with you
G
When you're tired and your eyes close
C D G
You won't have to take your final walk a-lone
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em
So if for-ever leaves too soon
C D
Only skin and bones, I know that there's room
[Chorus]
Em D
When the man in black
C G
Comes to cash his check
Em D C G
And you're holding on to your final breath
Em G
When you walk out the door
Em
Know that I will too
C D Em D G
I hope they build coffins for two-o-o-o
[Bridge]
Em D C
I'm never leaving you-u-u-u
Em D G
Coffins for two-o-o-o
Em D C G
I'm never leaving you-u-u-u
[Chorus]
